Behind me, my mother placed her hand on my shoulder and pointed to a cloud of gypsum sand in the distance, impossibly small, swirling across the basin desert.” It is evident in these passages that Cantu is at the beginning stages of his job as a border patrol agent, and he still does not know what it means to be good at his job. The imagery of a landscape shifting under “winter light” describes the way light shifts and brings attention to things otherwise not noticed in darkness and shadow. Similarly, Cantu’s life is shifting, and light is being shed on his own inexperience and the questions he has surrounding his job. The description of “a cloud of gypsum sand in the distance,” suggests that Cantu recognizes that impending challenges are unavoidable in the future, but for now they are distant and “impossibly small;” he does not have to address them head on.

Pre Islamic Mecca and Medina was known to be very diverse with people coming together from different races, nationalities, religions, and genders to form a varied community. It is interesting how a desert area known for its barren and uniform landscape created such a richly diverse community.
